The aftermath of the covid-19 pandemic literally illustrates the meaning of the word “viral” and magnifies the importance of unity on a global scale. It shows our interdependence as human beings and how imminent the effect is of one individual on the entire collective. It also reveals how our beings are dependent upon our entanglement with the natural world we are born into and the technical world we have created. Inspired by this, the exhibition addresses issues such as displacement, identity, embodiment, social cohesion, feminist care and posthumanism, in a step of taking action, in the spread of thoughts, ideas, feelings and deeds. The exhibition GOING VIRAL, at STEINZEIT Galerie in Berlin Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg organized by AthenSYN presents positions by 15 contemporary Greek artists.
